This has got to be one of the biggest parenting fails so far this year. An Egyptian couple tried to sneak their 5-month-old baby past security by stuffing him in their carry-on luggage in Shar-Jah Airport in the United Arab Emirates. When they arrived in the UAE, they were told that they would need a travel visa for their baby and instead of waiting the two days they came up with the idea of smuggling him instead. The father stuffed the baby inside one of their carry-on bags and proceeded to leave the restricted area. Security noticed the trio had changed to a duo and had the bags scanned. Needless to say that security was not too happy with the couple.

“This machine is very dangerous for anyone, let alone a baby in a bag, to pass through,” a policeman told the Gulf News. “When customs officials saw the baby inside the bag at the X-ray scanner, they were stunned.”

The couple now faces jail time and on top of that their child could be taken away from them. Do you think that they should have their child taken away?
